Hello everyone!
I'm just starting to get into the Overland community, and I've already learned a great deal browsing around EP. I already have some normal wheeling knowledge with my Jeep, but I'm in the process of getting it ready for some longer trips, and that entails some NAV discussion!
More or less, I'm looking into using my iPad as a larger screen for NAV (Simply because I already have it). What seems to be a popular setup for connecting that to GPS, without any form of wifi or cell connection? I see receivers like the Garmin GLO, and that seems very manageable, and I may go with that, but how can I load GPX files onto my devices, and what are the best apps for said maps? Seems like Gaia is popular for iOS devices. I apologize if this gets asked a lot, but I couldn't find 100% what I was looking for.
I do some hiking/biking out of vehicle, so the ability to throw the receiver in my bag and just link a phone would be nice, but if it's not 100% necessary, I would be willing to hardwire into the truck as well.
Thank you for any help/knowledge you have to share!
